{"product_id":"stealth-octava-t-digital-cable","title":"Stealth Octava-T Digital Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eOctava is Stealth's most advanced digital cable. It takes the company's Varidig technology and runs eight complete Varidig cables in parallel, an extension of the six-in-one Sextet. Stealth likens the idea to stacking DAC chips in parallel: better low-level resolution and resonance control, and less pre- and post-ringing, which it hears as a cleaner, more natural digital presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Octava-T adds Stealth's sliding tuning collar, allowing the cable to be fine-tuned to the system it serves. The collar is moved in small steps while listening until the sound locks into focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight complete Varidig cables run in parallel, each individually shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach Varidig run: solid-core centre (signal) conductor with a quad-layer, variable-pitch LITZ return\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaridig principle: porous Teflon dielectric that is thicker in the middle of the cable than at the ends, with conductors that taper towards the terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds the correct characteristic impedance across the whole cable including connectors (75 ohms S\/PDIF, 110 ohms AES\/EBU), greatly reducing signal reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwisting pitch varies along the length to break up internal resonances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKevlar used as the cable core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealth custom RCAs: Teflon dielectric and solid silver contacts; Stealth custom XLRs: Teflon dielectric, light hollow solid silver contacts, Kevlar supports, machined carbon fibre shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning collar: a sliding ferromagnetic collar moved along the cable while listening; at the right spot the sound comes into focus, much like a lens.
